Typst

Typst was developed since 2019 In March 2023, the Typst compiler was released as open-source, and Typst simultaneously announced the beta version of its web app. As of 2025, the app does not use the beta label anymore. According to GitHub, Typst was the second fastest-growing programming language by percentage in 2025. == Typesetting system ==

Typst is a markup language, similar to Markdown, "designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use." Its compiler is incremental for quick update of the document preview. Typst uses dedicated syntax for common formatting elements such as headings, strong emphasis and emphasis, while markup without dedicated syntax is accessed using functions in code mode. Unlike LaTeX, there are no minimum requirements for the structure of a document. Furthermore, many features which need external packages in Latex such as a bibliography, are implemented natively in Typst. == Compatibility and converters ==

Typst has native document export for PDF, PNG and SVG formats, with PDF/A Typst documents are written in a text editor and compiled to produce output files such as PDFs. A language server has been developed for Typst that can be installed as a plug-in for text editors such as VS Code and Neovim, enabling users to compile Typst documents directly within the editor. Typst has also been integrated into other software, notably Quarto, and is supported as an input and output format in Pandoc. Zerodha adopted Typst for generating transactions records citing its ease of use and performance, transitioning from LuaLaTeX. Scientists working on SciPy conference proceedings adopted Typst for PDF generation. == Example ==
